Craters

This is an image of the Sinus Sabaus and Deucalionis Regio portion of Mars. The lower right crater is Flaugergues and the double crater to the lower left is Wislicenus. This image was taken by the Mariner 6 in 1969. In this image can be found many siun
ous features suggestive of Martian rivers, and even outflow from a central plain. Viewing of this image in high resolution is recommended. (Courtesy of NASA/JPL)

This picture
of the Martian surface was obtained in the early
evening of January 1, 1998 by the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC),
shortly after the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft began it's
80th orbit. Seen in this view are a plateau and surrounding
steep slopes within the Valles Marineris. (Courtesy Malin Space Science Systems )
